Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
An individual's interpretation of the crisis is based to a large degree on previous outcomes to similar situations such as experiencing another death crisis. The remaining options do not have the same degree of influence as does the correct option since they are not an example of previous experience.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Phase 3: Resources from within and outside of the individual are mobilized to resolve the problem and to alleviate the discomfort caused by the stressor. Phase 1: The individual is exposed to a stressor. Phase 2: Previous coping and problem-solving strategies fail to relieve the stressor. Phase 4: The absence of crisis resolution leads to major disorganization such as self-injurious behavior.
